Treadmill walk time, mean heart rate over the last 2 full min of the walk test, age, and body mass were entered into both generalized (GEN Eq.) and gender-specific (GSP Eq.) prediction equations. Overall results indicated a highly significant linear relationship between observed peakVO2 and GEN Eq. predicted values (r=0.91), a total error (TE) of 5.26 ml · kg−1 · min−1 and no significant difference between observed and predicted peakVO2 mean values. The peakVO2 for women (n = 75) was predicted accurately by GSP Eq. (r = 0.85; TE = 4.5 ml · kg−1 · min−1), but was slightly overpredicted by GEN Eq. (overall mean difference = 1.4 ml · kg−1 · min−1;r=0.86; TE = 4.56 ml · kg−1 · min−1). No significant differences between observed peakVO2 and either GEN Eq. (r=0.85; TE=4.3 ml · kg−1 · min−1) or GSP Eq. (r=0.85; TE = 4.8 ml · kg−1 · min−1)predicted values were noted for men (n=48) with peakVO2 values less than or equal to 55 ml · kg−1 · min−1. However, both equations significantly underpredicted peakVO2 for the remaining high peakVO2 men (n = 22). In conclusion, the over-ground walking test, when administered on a treadmill, is a valid method of predicting peakVO2 but underpredicts peakVO2 of subjects with observed high peakVO2 values.
